Cleveland University-Kansas City (CUKC) provides a comprehensive and accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant degree program. In as little as two years, we prepare students for national certification and professional job opportunities in the OTA profession.

An occupational therapy assistant (OTA) works under the supervision of an occupational therapist directly with people to develop and improve their ability to perform daily activities. The goal for each individual person depends on his or her condition. Someone may need occupational therapy due to an accident, a lifelong health condition, or a disability.

At CUKC, we link the teaching and learning process used by occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants. We believe our students learn best through guided experiences and practice with the opportunity for self-reflection.

Cleveland University-Kansas City (CUKC) is about more than chiropractic – just ask the students in our College of Health Sciences.

For those pursuing bachelor’s or associate degrees, we offer prerequisite sciences courses in accelerated, eight-week intervals, on campus and online. Some graduates go directly into careers in laboratories or in the field. Many go on to pursue more advanced degrees in biology on their way to careers in forensics, research or traditional healthcare.

Our Master of Science in Health Education and Promotion and our Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science allows graduates to take advantage of a growing job market in workplace wellness implementation. Other career opportunities await in risk management, human resources, and occupational health and safety.
